About Pear Cut Diamond

A pear shape is a stunning combination of a round brilliant cut and a marquise cut. Because of its distinctive yet fancy pattern and large profile, a pear cut is one of the most preferred retro-cuts used for aesthetic purposes. This Pear Cut Diamond shape or cut is also known as a teardrop or a pendeloque as it features a single point and smooth, rounded corners. The usual length-to-width ratio of a pear diamond ranges between 1.45 and 1.75 and may vary in proportions depending on the types of setting or individual tastes and preferences.

Modern-day jewelers are trying to make a niche in fancy cuts to meet the increasing demands for innovative designs in the mainstream Diamond Jewelry market. They have been experimenting with various cuts and shapes so as to create something new without compromising on the quality parameters. A fancy cut Diamond like pear, triangle, briolette, heart, etc adds to this repertoire of diamond cuts. Among them, a pear cut diamond is significant for its multipurpose use in jewelry making, ranging from traditional ornaments to designer replica jewelry.

Historically, a Pear Diamond is of utmost importance. When compared to the popular round shape, a pear diamond has a larger size and retains higher carat weight. Its optical performance is as good as a round brilliant cut. A Pear Cut Diamond can have different widths and depths which in turn make them thinner or fatter and sometimes more elongated in shape.

Pear diamond engagement rings look best when paired with other gemstones. For example, a nice platinum bathed ring with an elongated pear diamond as centerpiece and a set of tiny rubies along the shank of the band is a definite eye-catcher. A three pear shaped diamond ring in a prong setting is another much sought-after design. With warm hues of pink, purple or yellow, pear Diamonds appear equally outstanding while the translucent ones stand out against their pristine looks.

Pear Cut Diamonds are often the most expensive of all diamond cuts. They are particularly beautiful for rings, pendants, ear studs and cuff links. Select your choice of metals – white gold, sterling silver or the traditional 14 K yellow gold and flaunt this sparkling teardrop in style.
